Hot-swappable, RGB lights, three-mode wireless, can be done in less than 600 yuan, domestic mechanical keyboard YYDS

As one of the indispensable tools for our office and entertainment, the keyboard is an important criterion when we choose it. In addition, "appearance" is an important reference when we choose. Recently, I bought a domestic mechanical keyboard. I have to say that the design of the upstart GM780 is very interesting at this price point. So how is its overall performance?

Presumably friends who are familiar with peripherals are no strangers to the brand Upstart. Its products have always been quite cost-effective, and this time the GM780 is no exception. As a three-mode mechanical keyboard that supports hot-swappable shafts and has RGB lighting effects, it can be won for only 600 yuan, which I personally think is quite worth it.

The upstart GM780 has three colors, which are officially called the scorching sun, the stars, and the foggy mountains. The one in my hand is the stars. At the first sight of it, I believe that everyone will think of the starry night created by Van Gogh like me. The shell is blue and translucent. With the painting style of the starry night, the overall appearance is still relatively high.

But at this time, it seems that there is still something missing, and the overall appearance is slightly mediocre, but after replacing the four official themed keycaps, you will find that the appearance is full instantly.

The buttons, switches and interfaces of the upstart GM780 are all designed in the upper right corner of the fuselage, which is quite convenient to use, and the buttons and switches feel very solid. At the same time, the detailed workmanship of this keyboard is also in place, and the internal workmanship can be seen through the translucent shell, which is also very regular. My personal favorite is that the nameplate at the bottom is a magnetic design, and the 2.4GHz receiver is stored in it. The design is really careful.

Its appearance is not only reflected in the appearance design, but also the RGB lighting effect is a plus item, and its lighting effect can be completely turned off. After turning on the lighting effect, you can see that the semi-transparent design of the shell is completely different from the semi-transparent keycap. Personally, I think the feeling of the upstart GM780 is more dreamy and beautiful.

As a mechanical keyboard with RGB lighting effects, the upstart GM780 is naturally very rich in lighting effect modes. Due to space limitations, here I will show two of my favorite lighting effects through animations. Come on. to see the effect.

The upstart GM780 uses PBT double-color injection keycaps, and the effect can be seen to be very good. Needless to say, the benefits of PBT keycaps, I believe that friends who have used them will fall in love with them. Personally, I think its keycap design can be more bold, such as not using black, but choosing a gradient color design, and changing the Fn function to side engraving, so that the overall appearance will be improved again.

The upstart GM780 I chose is Jiadalong G Silver Pro shaft body, which is a new shaft body launched by Jiadalong. It uses the traditional MX shaft body structure and is lubricated by the factory. It feels very linear and has no sense of paragraph. Good for rapid succession of inputs. In the design of the large key position, Upstart uses the satellite axis for balance, so the overall feeling of use is relatively stable.

After removing the shaft body, you can see that the shaft seat of the upstart GM780 is a five-pin design, which is not only compatible, but also suitable for players to DIY. At the same time, this keyboard supports hot-swapping of the shaft body, which means that it is very convenient to replace it by yourself later.

In addition to the appearance and function, the upstart GM780 also uses the GASKET structure in the structural design. This brings an advantage, the space inside the fuselage is very compact, and the connection between its various parts is cushioned by silicone material, so that it has no extra sound during the knocking process, not only feels better but also is more silent.

The reason why I chose this 78-key version this time is because I think it can meet the functional requirements of daily use while ensuring that the size will not be too large. When typing in normal times, you often need to input long strings of numbers such as ID card and phone number. If there are no small number keys, it will be more troublesome, but the 104-key keyboard will appear relatively large, and all 78 keys are a better balance. Requirements for function and appearance.

Judging from the actual use experience, the upstart GM780 can be regarded as a highly completed product, which basically integrates all the functions that users need. Hot-swappable shafts, RGB lighting effects, three-mode multi-system support, and the appearance design and appearance are very competitive in the same price range. No matter you are interested in appearance or function, the upstart GM780 can satisfy you, and you can also enjoy the fun of customization. What do you think of this product?
